City Election.

The election on Tuesday was very
quiet one, every body seemed to be in
good humor, majority of the candi-
dates were praying for defeat, and
like all other elections the result was
just exacly as some people prophesied;
for as it would be decidedly improper
for a political prophet to be mistaken,
the accommodating voters solved the
riddle which tickets solid, tickets
scratched, and tickets bifurcated pre-
scented, by voting for just whom they
pleased. At the closing of the poles
there had been 29s tickets cast into
the boxes and the counting showed
the following gentlemen to be the
successful victims:

tween Republicans and Democrats, F.
L. ellison, Pierce cOunty's once ga
vOrite Son" came within an ace of
receiving the nomination for Superior
Judge-the last ballot but one stand
ing ~ for Mr.. ellison and AZ for his
competitor. This, too, after Mr.. Gil
son had declined to have his name
used, himself being absent in Illinois
when the convention was held. We
are informed from reliable sources
that If he had done anything to aid
his boom. or even. had let it have its
course, he would have received the
nomination by large majority. He
has attained to very prominent
and paying position at the bar there,
and we presume did wisely in choosing
for the present to remain in practice.
The judgeship mentioned is the most
important and lucrative in the state.
except that of the Supreme Justices.
We predict for Mr.. ellison seat on
the supreme bench at no distant day.

ply, last week and unanimously passed
the assembly:
WHEREAS, The people of Ireland, after
having been deprived by the landlords of
Great Britain of local self-government for
81 years, are still oppressed beyond en-
durance by harsh laws inflicted upon
them against their protest; and
WHEREAS, The present tory party of
England, holding power through repiti-
tious system of franchise, based upon
property ownership, deaf TO all petitions
for the rights of common citizenship, are
asking for new, peculiar and extraordin-
arv powers of coercion, in harmony only
with the spirit of tyrants; therefore belt
Resolved by the assembly, the senate, con-
curing, That we denounce the tory gov
eminent Of Great Britain as being the en-
envy of all English speaking people, and
impossible of comprehending the lessons
of the history of the nineteenth century.
Resolved That the people of Wisconsin,
without distinction of party, give their
warmest sympathy to the Irish people
struggling for the rights of freemen, and
hereby we extend our encouragement and
greeting to their gallant leaders In parlIa-
ment in their efforts IN behalf OF
wronged and downtrodden people.
On motion of Mr.. keogh, the rules

In circular from W. III. Putnam s
apiary, by Mr.. w. Baldridge, setting
forth the comparative qualities of
'alsike" and "red clover" there are
some facts exhibited worthy of the
attention of all grass growers. The
yield of seed is large, the cured clover
is green and bright in color, il mixes
well with timothy and red clover, the
root is extremely long and prOfuse in
branches, the crown is large and the
stalk and leaf fine and tender. As
compared with red clover both the
root and crown are twice the size of
the red. Mr.. Putnam is much In
terested in the "alsike" for its honey
production and can furnish all needed
information concerning it to all in
quirers.
